A political party of Islam in India

National Islamic political parties and organizations include: Muslim National Front (1983), Indian Federal Muslim League (formerly known as All India Muslim League, later renamed as 1948), Islamic Council of India (198 1), Indian Islamic Scholars Association, Indian Islamic Association, All India Muslim Association and Muslims. Before the mid-1960s, Indian Muslims followed the Indian National Congress in politics and then participated in elections to seek their own rights. Some Muslim elites have held important positions in successive cabinets and parliaments. India's Constitution guarantees freedom of religious belief and equality among religions, and the state practices the principle of separation of church and state. However, due to the huge differences in beliefs, cultures and customs and the incitement of religious rights activists, sectarian conflicts often occur between Hindus and Muslims, leading to many violent and bloody incidents, which have intensified since the 1980s. There are thousands of mosques in India, including the oldest mosque in Delhi (16th century) and the Mecca Mosque in Hyderabad (17th century). Many mosques are also cultural and educational centers for imparting Islamic knowledge. In addition, there are several schools. Islamic institutions of higher learning include Ali Jal Muslim University, Delhi Islamic University, Delhi Agrabad Islamic Institute, Ma dural University, Saha Lampl Classic College, Chuband Classic College, Lucknow Islamic Scholars College, etc. There are many exquisite and spectacular cultural relics in the Sultanate Kingdom of Delhi and the Mughal Empire, including Hongbao, the Mughal capital, and the world-famous Taj Mahal. Many Indian Muslim organizations maintain close ties with the Islamic World League and the World Islamic Congress.
